Hey UXGaurav,

I'm interested in this list too. I'm thinking of installing on a box and would like to know out of curiosity what this list contains? I looked on your twitter profile (UXGaurav) and couldnt find the tweets to Troy. Did u DM him?

yep, I concede u can use any format u want, but I would assume you would want to use a standardised date format and to me using javascript format would be the most obvious. granted, it is one fugly format :)

Second point stands tho, I'm just not convinced that for something with potentially such a high volume of data combined with lots of curly braces and field names is an improvement over the existing format. the storage requirements might be x2 times for logs.

two issues immediately obvious with using json.

readable? can you read Date(1335439196173) and tell me what it is without using a utility.

size? putting braces around everything and adding field names for every log entry
